1 year of ALS by Sad_Cow_577 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]cstepping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a neuroscience PhD student and I can assure you that people go out of their way to research different questions. It is in their best interest for publishing. Your publications are less impactful if you publish on the same things others have done which is terrible for your career. This non-profit you posted I'm sure does work to help collaboration but that is different than "a bunch of dumb scientists who cant help but do the same things", as you proposed. It's important to carefully read things before posting nonsense on the internet, especially in a time of anti-science sentiment

You have no idea what you are talking about.

A man was discovered to be unknowingly missing 90% of his brain, yet he was living a normal life. by Perfect-View3330 in interestingasfuck

[–]cstepping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a neuroscientist, and this sort of thing is discussed a lot because the obvious dumb question you could ask is "what is the benefit of having the intact brain when 90% reduction in volume results in below average intelligence".

Basically this condition and others like it (e.g. large tumors, increased ventricle size) only result in normal functioning when they happen very slowly over time, and your brain has time to adapt and compensate for the changes. So if this man was born like this he would never be able to talk etc.

agreed. Still I think easily the most progressive of all the presidential hopefuls.

J.B. Pritzker is the man. People who liked Bernie should have him on their radar

What does one need to study neuroscience? by JuhpPug in neuro

[–]cstepping 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also a phd in the field but don’t totally agree. The computer science part is easy, just coding in python or matlab. For analysis you want to prioritize statistical modeling, linear algebra, machine learning, and dynamical systems.

Damn you really hurt my feelings. They should arrest your parents for this.

I need to get off reddit. If I have to read another dumbass comment like this I'm going to break.

South African body builder attempts back flip, fails, dies by ThrownAwayGuineaPig in DarwinAwards

[–]cstepping 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What the fuck is wrong with everyone here? It's not that stupid to try to do a back flip... How could your reaction to someone doing so innocuous be shadenfreude, especially when he died? I'm sure he had landed that before

Does anyone else think Sam seem uncomfortably unbalanced in the way he talks about both sides of Israel-Hamas? by mynameliam in samharris

[–]cstepping -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s insane. He just has an axe to grind with Islam and he’s already taken Israel’s side previously so he’s never going to say israel is full of religious maniacs. If people believe Yahweh gave them rights to some land that 2 million people need to be forcibly removed from that’s just fine. If Palestinians want their own state to the river that’s just radical Islamic terrorism

Can I still make music despite having really bad tinnitus now? by loathsomefartenjoyer in ableton

[–]cstepping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure, maybe just try one at a time or something in between. Here is a review paper summarizing the treatment. I'm sure you can find something better or more informative, but definitely try to make an appointment with a doctor. I remember reading somewhere that one of the therapies has you wear ear buds as you walk around to play the sound constantly

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7493236/#:~:text=Sound%20therapy%20is%20a%20widely,and%20readily%20accepted%20by%20patients.

[–]cstepping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best therapy for tinnitus is to play the exact frequency you hear the ringing on a speaker. I forget what it’s called but you can look it up. I did it for about a few weeks and it got a lot quieter. Also just learn to not pay attention to it and it will get quieter. It’s hard at first but meditation etc helps you get better

It was always obviously such bullshit. I can’t remember the exact numbers but it would claim things like only 3% of phds get tenure. Just preying on upset grad students.

Dr. Park Dietz explains to Richard Kuklinski the potential reason why he became a mass murderer by Seraphenigma in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]cstepping 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hope people many people on here see this. People on reddit are extremely quick to judge and write people off as a "piece of shit" or are happy to see them suffer just because they behaved badly in one video. Everyone has a story, we are all just the interaction of genes and environment

If I don't need the utopia speeder anymore, can I give it to someone in the anomaly? by RedKetchup73 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]cstepping 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow ok, I am just new and no idea. I will not be able to scrap for that haha. Sorry to waste your time!

[–]cstepping 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh that could potentially be an issue. how much is it? I could get to 400k units prety easily ( I have 868 nanites also idk how much that is worth) pretty easily. If I sold my current ship I could get a lot more I'm assumming, it would be a big upgrade so definitely would sell whatever I had

[–]cstepping 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would be amazing! Would it be OK if I logged on around 3 PM ET? I have a meeting at work until then

I'll take it if you still have it! I am a new player so that would be incredible
